A multidisciplinary approach to pain management.
Patients attend pain clinics with their pain and with the response to, and consequences of, this symptom. The management of these problems places demands on the members of several disciplines working either individually or incorporated into a multidisciplinary team. The development of treatment strategies allows a comprehensive treatment programme to be available in a district general hospital setting.
